Best Placement for Lighting Strips in a FRAME 4000D Case

Customization is key when building your dream PC. From the cooling setup to the lighting configuration, everything needs to be thought out to achieve the aesthetic you want. The CORSAIR FRAME 4000D Series of PC cases brings that vision to life, offering a flexible, modular platform that allows you to shape your PC exactly the way you want it.

The FRAME 4000D redefines what a PC case can be with a modular design that puts customization first. Available in black or white, it comes in three different configurations to suit your cooling needs. For a powerful, minimalist build, choose the fanless version and customize your cooling setup as needed. Want more airflow? Opt for the model with three airflow-optimized RS fans to keep your components cool. For those craving an eye-catching RGB setup, we offer a version with RS ARGB fans as well.

The modularity doesn’t end there. The FRAME 4000D lets you further personalize your PC's aesthetic with interchangeable side and front panels, upgradeable PSU covers, and motherboard trays. Mix and match components to suit your vision, whether you're aiming for a sleek, professional appearance or a bold, colorful statement.

Inside the case, clean cable management and a well-thought-out space for components ensure that every inch of your build is organized and looks tidy. You can even opt for additional features, like anti-sag brackets for your GPU or side fan mounts, all while maintaining a sleek and polished look.

Lighting can lift your machine's look even further. It can transform the look of your PC, drawing attention to the components you've carefully selected and adding an extra layer of vibrancy to your build. The right lighting can transform an already great build into a stunning visual experience. But it's not just about throwing some LEDs in there—it's about placing them in the right spots to accentuate your PC's design.

When it comes to lighting strips, placement is everything. The key to creating an immersive and polished aesthetic lies in positioning the lighting to highlight the best features of your build. CORSAIR Aurora RGB Light Strips, available in 350mm and 430mm lengths, ensure proper coverage in your case.

Positioning the Aurora LS in the PSU chamber toward the side panel of the case creates a subtle glow in the PSU chamber, enhancing the build's character with the dynamic RGB lighting of the Aurora LS.

Running the Aurora RGB LS along the radiator and fans not only adds additional lighting effects to the build but also amplifies the vibrancy of the RGB lighting in that specific section of the case. But remember, you don't have to crank up the lighting at all times. You can also tone it down or customize it via iCUE software to the level of brightness you prefer.

This location is a fan-favorite, where the Aurora LS is mounted behind the side fan mount cover to provide the build an underglow lighting effect for a softer, more captivating glow. It adds another layer of lighting to the build, where the RGB lighting source is not directly visible when looking at the build from the side.

Overall, you want your Aurora RGB light strips to be sleekly tucked away but still allow you to achieve the perfect ambient glow. The FRAME 4000D Series provides complete customization and pairs best with Aurora RGB Light Strips.

Having the latest and the greatest PC components in your rig is great and all, but if you are a true PC enthusiast, and you care about looks as much as performance, you have to take it up a notch and figure out a way to complement them and showcase the best way possible, elevating your build's aesthetics beyond a standard-looking PC build. Adding a lighting accessory like the Aurora RGB Light Strips in a build will do exactly that, especially when you strategically place them in locations where they not only add RGB lighting effects to your build but also enhance its overall look.
